SMILE Pro for Calabasas Patients | Christmas SMILE
Calabasas is a short hop from wilderness. Malibu Creek State Park, the Las Virgenes trailheads and the ridges above Old Topanga Canyon are all minutes from the Commons, and a lot of residents spend weekend mornings on dirt. Contact lenses and canyon wind are not friends. Neither are glasses and a steep descent on Bulldog Motorway when the lenses fog.
The closest office is Westlake Village
For Calabasas residents, the Westlake Village office at 31824 Village Center Rd, Suite F is usually closer than Beverly Hills. It is about 10 miles west on the 101, typically a 15-minute drive outside the commute peaks, and there is a free parking lot right outside. That makes the follow-up schedule after treatment simple: in and out, no valet, no garage ticket. Patients who work over the hill can choose the Beverly Hills office instead; the team works across both.
Dust, wind and contact lenses
Fine trail dust gets trapped behind soft contacts, and the Santa Ana winds that roll through the West Valley in the fall dry them out quickly. Hikers and mountain bikers describe stopping to rinse a lens on the trail, or giving up and wearing old glasses that bounce. Those small frustrations add up, and they are a common reason people ask about laser vision correction.
After SMILE Pro, Dr. Khanna's team gives specific guidance on when dusty, sweaty outdoor activity can resume and what eye protection to wear in the meantime. Wraparound sunglasses are a good habit on Calabasas trails long after healing, and they also help on bright winter afternoons when the low sun comes straight down the canyon toward the 101. Bring the pair you actually wear outdoors to your consult so the team can talk about it.
Parents, carpools and early mornings
Calabasas families start early: school drop-offs, practices at De Anza Park, a drive to work in Woodland Hills. Parents who are fumbling for contacts before sunrise are often the ones who finally book a consult. If you are researching for yourself, plan the procedure for a stretch when another adult can handle carpool for a couple of days.
About SMILE Pro and candidacy
SMILE Pro uses the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 laser to create a small lenticule inside the cornea, which is removed through a small opening, with no flap. It treats eligible nearsightedness, with or without astigmatism, in adults 22 and older. Corneal measurements, prescription stability and eye health decide whether it is a fit. Rajesh Khanna, MD has more than 25 years of experience and 25,000+ procedures, and some patients learn LASIK, EVO ICL or no surgery is the better choice. Results vary from person to person.
A holiday gift from someone who cares
Relatives sometimes buy a gift certificate toward SMILE Pro, in an amount they choose, for someone who has complained about contacts for years. It is a gift from them, not a promotion from Khanna Vision Institute. The kindest way to give it is with a Free VIP consult, in office and virtually, so the person receiving it decides with full information. Call (805) 230-2126 for the Westlake Village office.
